Instructions
In a small bowl, combine shrimp, lemon juice and cayenne. Stir well, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
Meanwhile, make shrimp stock. In a saucepan, combine shrimp shells and 1 cup (250 mL) each white wine and water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Strain pushing the shells again the sieve to extract as much flavor as possible. Measure 1 cup (250 mL) and set aside. Freeze excess.
In a skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion and celery and cook, stirring, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add salt, peppercorns, thyme and bay leaves and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add tomatoes with juice and bring to a boil.
Transfer to slow cooker stoneware. Stir in reserved shrimp stock. Cover and cook on Low for 6 hours or on High for 3 hours. Stir in okra, corn and bell pepper. Cover and cook on High for 20 minutes, until okra is tender.
When you are ready to serve, melt butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high. Using a slotted spoon, immediately add reserved shrimp in batches and cook, stirring, until they turn pink. Transfer to slow cooker as completed. Add marinade juices to pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add to slow cooker, stir well and serve.
Tips
Okra, a tropical vegetable, has a great flavor but it becomes unpleasantly sticky when over cooked. Choose young okra pods, 2 to 4 inches (5 to 10 cm) long that don’t feel sticky to the touch. (If sticky they are too ripe). Gently scrub the pods and cut off the top and tail before slicing.
Make Ahead
Complete Steps 1 and 2. Cover and refrigerate shrimp and vegetable mixture separately, overnight. When you’re ready to cook, continue with the recipe.
